Communicating for Safety: Recognising Change

Recognising and communicating change in the people you support.

Learn what changes to look for to recognise and monitor any deterioration in someone’s health, behaviour or abilities you are supporting. Recognising and communicating change in those you support is a key responsibility in helping people maintain their health.

This course will show you an easy way to remember what changes to look and listen for to maintain the safety and wellbeing of the person you support.

Course outcomes:

• Be aware of the benefits of identifying change in the person you support
• Know what to look and listen for when identifying change
• Use a simple method to remember what changes to be aware of
• Case study practice in small groups
• Instructor feedback on communicating change for safety.
